Tecumseh
Touching the lives of millions for more than 80 years.
Demonstrated performance. Tecumseh Products Company is renowned for bringing an extra dimension of product innovation, customer reliance, and product quality to the air conditioning and refrigeration industry. As a result of their innovative spirit and product performance, people rely on their products every day. They literally touch the lives of millions.
Early beginnings. They developed the first “hermetic” compressor for consumer refrigerators in 1937. As the name Tecumseh became synonymous with commercial refrigeration and central home air conditioning, they expanded their product line to include automotive air conditioning compressors in 1953. Their reputation for innovation was further enhanced in 1959 when they developed the first high-speed hermetically-sealed compressor for commercial applications.
A focused company. Although their product manufacturing focus remains constant, Tecumseh has substantially invested in research and development engineering laboratories in North America, Europe, South American and India. We've also partnered with R&D facilities at universities throughout the globe. These facilities are not just responsible for engineering product solutions, but our university partners also provide Life Science Research on how our products interface with mankind and the environment.
Tecumseh innovation. Today, they engineer a full-line of hermetically-sealed compressors for residential and specialty air conditioning, home refrigerators and freezers, and commercial refrigeration. But their expertise doesn’t stop there; they also offer a complete line of indoor and outdoor condensing units, evaporator coils, heat pumps, complete refrigeration systems and authorized spare parts.
Unwavering commitment. Tecumseh has responded to the challenges of the refrigeration and air conditioning marketplace for over seven decades, leading the way with improved products and service in support of the industry they serve. A company-wide dedication to quality control has already earned Tecumseh the highest quality rating from major refrigeration and air conditioning manufacturers. And the people they employ are honored to touch so many lives, in so many countries, every day.
